Gents - I've been on the look out for a model 30 snubby for a good while and lately, a 19 round butt snubby. When nice blued revolvers present themselves at the wrong time, you still have to check them out - am I wrong? The older gentleman who has been taking care of my mother in law for several years, is/was a bit of a bird hunter and mostly talked of his shotguns. He had mentioned a 22 mag revolver several times in the past, but had never had it with him. Fast forward to yesterday, mother in law texts several pics of it to my wife's phone, as she doesn't have my number (by my design!) Appears to be a very minty, pinned 6" 48 with a TH/TT. Phone call reveals he's owned it for 35-40 yrs, said he's fired maybe a box thru it, no idea if he still has the box or not. We agree on a price and I can pick it up on Tuesday. I really didn't/ don't need it, as I already have it's twin here for almost 20 years with probably north of 1K rds thru it. Sometimes a nice one is tough to pass up, especially when it the price is right, even if it delays the ones on the "want" list. I plan to post up pics once it arrives - Thanks, Bill in MA
